초록

This paper accounts for the locality in Korean language and the nature of optional movement in the Survive framework of minimalist syntax (Stroik 2009). I show how a Merge and Remerge analysis, induced by bottom‐up repelling processes, can explain the diverse forms of Whconstructions and scrambling in Korean, and how it sheds valuable light on our understanding of optional movements. Optional movement has properties very different from the last-resort type. In accordance with Stroik and Yang(2009), I support a non‐representational /nondeterministic derivational theory by showing further evidence from Korean scrambling and Wh‐constructions. I suggest interpreting the Survive principle as the syntactic instance of a more general push‐up mechanism that is responsible for inducing optional movements in general. I also propose a bottom‐up structure‐building Merge operation called “The Extended Survive Principle (ESP).” I postulate in line with Miyagawa (2010) that optional movement processes are not Agree-free nor Merge-free processes and argue that optional movement also requires feature-checking processes like obligatory movement. In this paper, I manipulate optionality in movement not in terms of optional versus obligatory Internal Merge but in terms of the “determination” of Remerge processes under the Survive framework, which employs a bottom-up repelling mechanism.

Abstract

This paper accounts for the locality in Korean language and the nature of optional movement in the Survive framework of minimalist syntax (Stroik 2009). I show how a Merge and Remerge analysis, induced by bottom‐up repelling processes, can explain the diverse forms of Whconstructions and scrambling in Korean, and how it sheds valuable light on our understanding of optional movements. Optional movement has properties very different from the last-resort type. In accordance with Stroik and Yang(2009), I support a non‐representational /nondeterministic derivational theory by showing further evidence from Korean scrambling and Wh‐constructions. I suggest interpreting the Survive principle as the syntactic instance of a more general push‐up mechanism that is responsible for inducing optional movements in general. I also propose a bottom‐up structure‐building Merge operation called “The Extended Survive Principle (ESP).” I postulate in line with Miyagawa (2010) that optional movement processes are not Agree-free nor Merge-free processes and argue that optional movement also requires feature-checking processes like obligatory movement. In this paper, I manipulate optionality in movement not in terms of optional versus obligatory Internal Merge but in terms of the “determination” of Remerge processes under the Survive framework, which employs a bottom-up repelling mechanism.
